After copying it to the machine with Nessus 2.2.3, checking the variables in it and entering the correct location strings, it now seems to work properly and I can successfully run nessus-update-plugins (with 7000+ plugins) and run nessusd without it complaining about the registration.
With that I get the impression that this does appear to be an issue with "nessus-update-plugins" from Nessus 2.2.3 and the new nessus-fetch command.
It works now, allthough it is not my favourite solution to do it this way.

This is for Nessus 2.2.3 for Linux 2.4.20-20.9
Updated /usr/local/etc/nessus/nessus-fetch.rc with a proxy and a proxy_port entry as the machine is connected to the Internet through a proxy and a firewall.
Tried to do "nessus-fetch --register {activation code}" but that did not work (could not connect to plugins.nessus.org - Success ). This did work btw: "nessus-fetch --url http://www.nessus.org/index.php test.txt".
So did a manual registration.
After manual registration entered given 3 new location entries with string in /usr/local/sbin/nessus-update-plugins (btw the 3 old location entries without string did not exist).
Now when I run "nessus-update-plugins -vv" it does not appear to use the three new location entries with string, it goes for the plain :
all-2.0.tar.gz, all-2.0.tar.gz.md5, all-2.0.sig, without string. Number of plugins is around 6300 and it gives me a warning that the product was not registered when I run nessusd.
So what am I missing here ?
Got another machine with Nessus 2.2.0, also registered, running on an Internet connected machine , with its 3 new location entries with string in nessus-update-plugins, and this does work, I see it do a wget on the files with string. 7000+ plugins are downloaded, nessusd does not complain.
This is for Nessus 2.2.0 for Linux 2.4.27-1-686
